Denmark's Royal Hunt is in the studio at the moment, going through material recorded at this fall’s festival appearances (ProgPower USA, LoudPark Japan and Rockingham UK), picking out tracks for an upcoming double live album. Expected to be releaseed in March, a deluxe limited edition digipak version of the album can be pre-ordered at this location.

Royal Hunt recently released a lyric video for the track "Riches To Rags", from their new album Devil's Dozen, available now.

With keyboardist and songwriter André Andersen at the helm, Royal Hunt once again created an album that combines the basic sound and core values of classic rock with progressive rock and more current musical elements. After selling approximately 1.7 million albums globally and touring the world numerous times, the band’s still going strong with the August release of their 13th studio album, The Devil's Dozen.

The new recording stays true to the original, larger-than-life Royal Hunt sound, with imaginative instrumentation, intricate arrangements, soaring vocals and catchy, massive choruses. Yet, the addition of classical musicians/instruments and contemporary, modern day production elements move to twist the outcome into a unique sonic palette. The album is chock full of carefully crafted songs, recorded and mixed by a team who combined crystal clear sonics with a weighty punch.

Featuring once again the talents of the awesome US singer DC Cooper – who, after numerous requests from fans and promoters worldwide decided to reunite with the band in 2011 – Royal Hunt features – besides André Andersen on keyboards - long time member Andreas Passmark on bass, Jonas Larsen on guitar and new drummer Andreas Habo Johansson (ex Narnia).
